I think the singer is Gino Latino (NOT DJ gino latino), this is RARE

This is FOR SURE

"Radio rap" by RADIO BAND from 1984.

I couldn't believe my ears when listening to this tape by Ron Hardy!!!!!!!!!!

This band was a combo of several radio djs of my hometown Florence. All of them were working for a local pirate radio called Radio Fantasy. This was released after the moderately successfull project by The Band of Jocks (a bunch of djs from Milan).
I think that a very limited number of copies were released. The leader of that band was a friend of mine, Michele Lopez, who is the only person I know that owns that record

just curious which song are you referring to? this happens to be a very interesting set that i enjoy very much. I didnt think Ron Hardy played european stuff like this back in the day.

I didn't listened to the full lenght mix. The very first song is GAZ NEVADA "IC love affair", but it's fading, then "Radio rap" comes in..... then I stopped listening..... called my friend Michele who did the record back in the day..... told him that Ron Hardy did play it.... and we both had a good laught!!!!

Giovanni, please tell your friend that it's an excellent record and I'd wish I had it on vinyl..

I've tried to distinguish the tracks he played, it's just that I'm not that of a connaisseur.

Well, here we go:

Gaz nevada - ic love affair
radio band - radio rap

??? - ''stop encore''??
??? - some edit from hardy I guess

??? - "I'm stretched out on the river", sounds like some electro-dub/disco, levan like

??? - another edit from hardy
??? - some female vocal disco with electro-dub influences (this reminds me of affinity's don't go away on mango, at least something levan would also play)

??? - sounds like either a prelude instrumental dub mix (francois k??) or an edit from hardy

??? - female disco electro "set my soul on fire"
??? - edit from hardy, probably some salsoul tune
??? - another edit??
??? - some electro/disco

You see, I'm still rather clueless, but I appreciate your help a lot!!! By the way, this mix is from June 1984.
